'Mess with one of us - then you have to deal with all of us...'

A no-holds-barred thriller set against the gritty reality of life may British kids must face on a day-to-day basis.

From the author of the highly acclaimed (un)arranged marriage, winner of three children's book awards and shortlisted for no less than five others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bali Rai does it again, 10 Oct 2006
Once you pick this book up you will not be able to put it down. Again as with all his books i think that this will appeal to readers of all ages and not just teenagers who i belive it has been aimed at. This is not a typical 'asian' book as it goes in depth not just in the indian character but also in to the afro-carribean characters and white characters. Also the lives of the characters ae not your typical 'indian child living with both parents happily' scenerio....Bali Rai delas with real life issues that affect modern asian children such as life with a single parent and those struggling financially as well as issues in general such as prostitution adn drugs. He has managed to tie all these aspects into one great book I only wish it could have been longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The crue is the book for you!, 17 Jul 2003
This is a thriller greater than the rest,
It grips like a vice and is simply the best.
It would be a crime not to read it,
And i'm going to tell you why.
When you've read this review you'll want to buy, buy, buy!

There's Billy, Jas, Della, Ellie and Will,
They discover some money, a bag to the fill.
They make the decision to hand the money in,
But in the ghetto, they casue quite a din.

It's scary, gripping and really well told,
Everyone will love this - young or old.
It's hard hitting, gritty and will have you on the edge of your seat,
It has to be said - this book is hard to beat!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Crew - Bali Rai, 5 May 2004
By A Customer
This is one of the best books i've read. Its simply wicked. Do not read this if you are quite sensitive because it swears and the main issures are - drugs racism and prostitutism in Britain. This book is excellent and i have recommended it to most of my mates

This book should be used as an example of how not to write. The first chapter simply describes each member of the crew in turn as if they're being introduced at a Conservative... Read more
